ceived with appropriate remarks assur-
ing the givers that they would ever be
kept in sacred remembrance OF those
who had so agreeably surprised him,
and no doubt they will afford him many
happy thoughts, in after years, of the
numberless friends which he has made
during his year OF labor at Crystal Falls.
The evening was spent in the usual man
ner, that Of playing harmless games,
social conversation, and last but not

The subject that most interests our
citizens just at present is the depth of
snow and the generosity which nature
continues to show in giving new sup
ply about once in three days. Sunday
another six inches came, making some
roads impossible and travelling very
tedious every where. But when the
snow reaches about such depth and
most landmarks are buried, we don't
notice an extra foot or two. Another
thing worth thinking of is this, we are
taking our turn at it now on the hills
struggling through the drifts; but you
fellows in the valleys will catch it
when this snow melts. Anyhow, we'd
rather shovel a little snow than be
shaken out of bed by an earthquake.
Hurrah for the hills of Vermont!

Office directed to the same G. w. Burn
ham, a search warrant was sworn out,
and on Thursday morning deputy
sheriff A. E. Wakefield visited the ex-
press office, and on examination, found
that the barrel contained a ten gallon
cask of whiskey; also that the box
marked "glass" had for it's contents
four dozen bottles of whisky. A hear
ing was had before justice u. r. Hunt
ley at which the liquor was adjudged
forfeited to the town. Buruham after
wards pleaded guilty to one first Of
fence for Selling" etc., and was fined
accordingly. On the whole, those in
favor of enforcing the liquor law feel
better concerning this transaction than
the law breakers. Much credit is due
to the station agent, E. ID. Dutton, for
discovering the butter thief, although
Mr.. DuttOn had no idea of the train of
consequences that would follow.

Conductor Southworth's Death.

The state railway commission has
made the following report in relatio N
to the death of Conductor Southworth ::
AS Conductor SOntlIwOrth was TAX
ing freight train No. 10 into White
River Junction on the evening of Feb.
% ultimO, he was last seen alive by
Brakeman w. s. Eastman, who, look
ing back from his place on the forward
part of the train, saw him start toward

down the ladder at the end of n car,
apparently TO get to and cross a coal
car Oh his way forward. SOuthwOrth
not appearing on the top of the car
next in front of the coal car in due
time, Eastman became concerned for
him, and ran down the train and found
that he had fallen therefrOm, discover

Cattle Disease.


o. NJ. Tinkham, having received in
tellgence from A. w. Cheever, secre
tary of the Massachusetts cattle COM
mission, of the presence of II number
of diseased cattle in that state, calls the
attention of Vermont cattlemen to the
fact. Mr.. Cheever says "DOn't send any
cattle to our markets just yet from
your state. 1t is doubtful if there will
be another store cattle market for
some weeks" Considering the near
ness of the disease, and the former free
movement of cattle between the states,
Mr.. Tinkham suggests the prOpriety of
the appointment by the governor of
a commission for Vermont, which
the law empowers him to do, which
could cooperate with the Massachu-
sets commission, and be ready to meet
without delay any trouble which may
arise. Farmers and cattle dealers will
do well to use extraordinary caution
in transactions and in handling cattle
in view of these facts.

The RetaIiatOry Law.

The text of the senate retaliatOry
bill which finally becomes law is Civ
en- on the second page. 1t is substan-
italy Mr.. Edmunds's bill. The presi-
dent is authorized to exclude Canadian
vessels and products from any port in
the United States, but not to exclude
Canadian products in railway cars, as
was proposed by the Belmont bill. The
news of the passage of the bill was re-
ceived with the widest sort of rejOic-
ing in Gloucester and other fishing
ports in this country, while in Canada
the opinion prevailed that the presi-
dent would be slow to exercise his
prerOgative in carrying out the pro-
visions of the new law. Telegraphic
reports from England, however, go to
show that the passage of the bill has
already been productive of good
aud that the British government will
now give the question the attention
which it demands.

started no one had the reins. The
horses ran a little distance and stuck
again necessitating the throwing off of
part of the load.

The Town System.

1t is pretty difficult to tell whether
the town system of schools is, on the
whole, gaining or losing in favor with
the people of Vermont. After a four
years trial of the town system Ran
dOlph voted last week against an arti-
Gle in the warning to go back to the
old district system. In Rockingham,
in which is the village of Bellows Falls,
the town system was adopted by a
majority of but three in a total vote of
BAL. In Rutland, where the election
was controlled by the knights of La
Dor, the town system was adopted,
though it is doubtful if this action was
the result of careful thought. A con-
siderable number of other towns have
also taken similar action. On the
whole appearances indicate that the
town system is growing in favor in the
large centers, and that it is sure to
grow in favor where it is given an
honest and thorough trial. Superin-
tendent Dart while here last week ex-
pressed great confidence in the early
and general adoption of the town sys-
tenn, despite the fact that it is inst now
making such slow progress. The peO-
pie, he says, for the most part do not
understand the difference between the
two systems and their relations to each
other and to the schools, but when
they investigate and understand, the
subject, they are quick to go over to
the side of the town system. Educa-
tiOn as to the best methods of educat-
ing is the need of the hour in this state

THE GOOD TEMPLARS.

The Sd Dist. Union l. o. G.. T., held
its quarterly meeting with Harmony
lodge, West Burke, Saturday after
noon. The session was opened by
district chief templar A. l.. Aldrich,
the address of welcome was given by
Rev. j. Morse, followed by song by
Miss Hattie Walter, all of West Burke.
The response to the welcome was by
w. l.. Pearl of ST. JOhnsbury. The
reports of the lodges, though not as
full as usual, showed the order to be in
a prosperous condition. After the
transacting of miscellaneous business
recitation, worthy of special mention,
was given by Miss Marion Chamberlin
of st. JOhnsbury. Following this came
the discussion of the question How
can we best sustain and induce others
to join our lodges, which was ably
discussed by Messrs. Morse. Pearl,
Aldrich, Taft, ROwell and Mrs. Staples.
The general trend of the remarks ia
vored a more earnest and united effort
on the part of Good Templars to in
struct and interest the children in the
cause of temperance. In the evening
public session was held in the NJ. Z.
church, conducted by A. L. Aldrich,
who after excellent Introductory re-
marks, called upon Mrs. j. l.. C.. Cor
liss of st. JOhnsbury, who read poem
in a pleasing manner and with marked
effect, after which, by special request,
Marion Chamberlin repeated her reci-
tatiOn delivered in the afternoon. Fol-
lowing this came brief addresses and
remarks by Messrs. Pearl, Morse, Al
drich, Cowles, Rowell and others
The audience then listened to an in

EAST HARDWICK.

The death of Harvey Montgomery of
East Hardwick which was published
last week recalls many items unfamil
lar to the rising generation. He was
born at Walden 1905 and was one of
seven sons only one of them surviving
him. He moved to East Hardwick, OF
what was then known as "Stevens'
Mills" more than fifty years ago. For
30 years he was identified with the
mill interests sustaining the title of
the East Hardwick hotel and remained
few others being the only strictly tenn
perance hotel in the state. The trav-
cling public of the old stage coach
days we'll remember the genial post
master and landlord with his house
crowded with passengers and transient
guests. Though never an aspirant for
political hOnOrs yet he for many years
served his town in different offices
with characteristic honesty and fideli-
ty. His energy amidst bodily infrm-
tiles was marvellous. For nearly eight
years he had been IL sufferer from can
Ger in the face and for the last four
years intensely so. His disease baffled
the skill of physicians yet he bore all
the agOnies with heroic Christian for
titude and not one murmur ever es-
capped his lips. He has left an aged
companion with whom he has lived
nearly sixty years, two sons and one
daughter and large circle of relatives
and friends to mourn their loss. His
six grandsOns bore his remains to the
cemetery.
Miss Blanch Stuart has returned
from Goddard seminary.
Dean Knight, who had been i'll most
of the winter, died Saturday.
Albert Fort has been suffering with
a throat trouble for month and can
not speak aloud.
The fees of new members of the V.
L. S., will be used as they prefer; for
the purchase of books or for side
walks let each one remember to state
their desire.
Dea. j. M. Stevens, who has suffered
over a year, seemed to improve during
the past month and hopes were enter
tanned that he might soon sit up, but
the past week he has lost more than
was gained.
